National Ice Cream Day is a national day I can get behind! Especially when it happens in the heat of the summer! President Ronald Reagan first declared this tasty annual celebration in 1984 to recognize the sweet treat’s popularity and its contribution to the dairy industry. 2025 National Ice Cream Day is happening on Sunday, July 20th but be sure to read the dates for each offer as some are different days or more than one day.
National Ice Cream Day always happens on the third Sunday in July.
